My daughter, a high school freshman, gave it to me halfway through because she didn't need it anymore (she wanted to try Korean cosmetics). I thought to myself, "Well, I'm in my mid-40s and my skin isn't red anymore..." but I used it on the first day with a sense of waste. As soon as I got to work, a colleague said, "Your skin looks amazing today," and I was like, "What have I been doing with all those foundations I've used up until now?" The finish is a nice half-matte. It removes dullness nicely, and adheres to foundation without creating an unnatural finish. This quality at this price. I wish I'd known about it sooner.
